The tractrix arises in the following problem posed to Leibniz: What is the path of an object starting off with a vertical offset when it is dragged along by a string of ...

The evolute of the tractrix given by parametric equations x = t-tanht (1) y = secht (2) is the catenary x_e = t (3) y_e = cosht. (4)

The radial curve of the tractrix x = a(t-tanht) (1) y = asecht (2) with radiant point (x_0,y_0) is the kappa curve x_r = x_0+atanht (3) y_r = y_0+asinhttanht. (4)

The tractrix spiral is a spiral with parametric equations x(t) = acostcos(t-tant) (1) y(t) = acostsin(t-tant) (2) for t in [0,pi/2). It is also known as the polar tractrix or ...

A trail is a walk v_0, e_1, v_1, ..., v_k with no repeated edge. The length of a trail is its number of edges. A u,v-trail is a trail with first vertex u and last vertex v, ...

The transcendence degree of Q(pi), sometimes called the transcendental degree, is one because it is generated by one extra element. In contrast, Q(pi,pi^2) (which is the same ...

A curve which intersects some straight line in an infinity of points (but for which not every point lies on this curve).

An element of an extension field of a field F which is not algebraic over F. A transcendental number is a complex number which is transcendental over the field Q of rational ...

An equation or formula involving transcendental functions.

An extension field of a field F that is not algebraic over F, i.e., an extension field that has at least one element that is transcendental over F. For example, the field of ...
